Klucz do Twierdzy. — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Klucz do Twierdzy, which translates roughly as "Key to the Fortress," is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, played on the underground level as well as the surface. The author's description frames it as a crisis: scouts have reported a city that could solve your people's problems, but reaching it is dangerous. The map is rated Hard and supports six players, five of them human, with the purple player controlled by the computer only. There are no teams. Red plays Fortress, Blue Dungeon, Green Stronghold, Purple Tower, Teal Inferno, and Pink Necropolis. Water covers about a third of the map, with sand, dirt, and swamp making up most of the rest. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Wandering Master Genies and Water Elementals are common, and the Grail is placed on the map.
